See that faith you have in the main character of a movie? Regardless of the situation or timing or obstacle, somehow you always believe that they'll get out, that they'll make it to the other end of the tunnel, not only alive but also blessed and successful... see that faith? Have the same in yourself and in your life.

You're the main character in this movie called life. The universe is the author of the script and there's no way it will let you down. Absolutely no way. Regardless of what you see on the surface, remember the author of the script favours you. You got this.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor Frankl In our response also lies an opportunity to be kind, to extend grace, to offer comfort and encouragement and love to someone who needs it.

That thing you want? Is it a relationship, is it a job, is it a trip, is it some other experience, it is personal improvement? Now is the time to start.

You've got this. I believe in you!

What choices are you not making today? That happy life you keep thinking about where you have that new job or open that new business, where you ask that person out, where you take that first step on the road to self improvement of some kind? Don't be afraid. Be bold. You are worth taking bold action for. I pray you believe that today and every day.

You've got this. I believe in you!

“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made, or by dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”

Surround yourself with people who not just remember, but remind you how wonderful and precious you are when that little internal vice would tell you otherwise. In spite of what that voice might be telling you today, I'm so glad you're here.

You've got this. I believe in you!

My apologies for not posting regularly for the past few days. I've been a little under the weather but feeling much better today. Much love.

We wouldn't be human if we didn't make mistakes. I make them daily, thankfully they're not all major. Acknowledge when you make a mistake, absolutely, but don't use that mistake as a reason to be unkind to yourself. Don't carry that mistake forward with you as anything other than a reminder of how far you've come.

You've got this. I believe in you!

Your reminder that rest is part of the process too.

You've got this. I believe in you!
